This is a short side story to Star Wars: The Snuggle Protocol.

The Empire has blockaded Equestria. Critical pony supplies are dwindling as the evil Empire tightens its grip on the innocent world. In the face of this overwhelming oppression, Equestria calls on the Rebel Alliance to render aid. All they have to do is break through a fleet of orbiting Imperial ships, race down to the surface of an occupied planet and fly back out again without being shot down.

Easier said than done: to complete this mission, the Rebels seek to deploy only their most capable starfighter squadron to get the job done. But it is there somepony more capable than them?

The Galactic Empire has invaded Equestria. But rather than spreading fear and oppressing the populace, it seems the evil Empire is only trying to spread... love. While they may not exactly be the friendliest bunch, some ponies soon embrace the newcomers while they visit their kingdom. Despite their claims that they only wish to share a message of friendship and understanding, some remain suspicious that the usually-malevolent group may have ulterior motives.

Twilight Sparkle and her friends(most of them, anyway) are among those who are not so quick to trust the Empire. Unfortunately, they're in the minority, and proving that the Empire is up to their usual tricks may be more difficult than they anticipate. For the freedom of their world, the Mane Six must fight the most devastating weapon the Empire has ever deployed: cuteness.

From the Void came Cosmos, and from Cosmos came Light. The stars of the universe, dancing with boundless, raging fire. Each has a soul, and until they unite, they cannot be complete.

Yet, no matter how far she searches, one soul cannot find her star.

She cannot find Sun.

She watches me always over her shoulder.

She knows I am there. I have been for a long time, for years beyond number. Biding my time, waiting patiently for her to end. As patient as I am, though, I am growing tired. Though I know that one day, she must relent, she must cease fighting and come to me, her time has not come yet. She still burns, yet not brightly, always keeping one eye out for me.

Perhaps today, the day has finally come.

Perhaps now, at long last, we can both rest.

Written for the Sun's Final Rising contest.

When two worlds of great difference meet, it shall result in either the greatest of unities, or the most horrific of tragedies.

These are tales of such tragedies.

A series of one shots about human-pony interactions that I lack the time and/or creativity to create full fledged stories about. Feel free to get inspired and make one of these ideas work, or point me towards a story that already does.

- Act I (You Are Here) - Act II - Act III

Applejack begins to notice suspicious behavior in her friend Twilight. As she presses for the truth, she discovers the truth about their world.

They are not alone.

Somewhere, there is another Equestria, another world in which copies of the Element Bearers live different lives, unaware of the destiny that was almost theirs. A world shrouded in darkness.

As these two worlds begin to collide, six strangers will discover that they must inherit the mantles passed down by their alternate selves and become heroes in a world without rainbows.

(Very) loosely inspired by the television show Fringe.

The Sequel to Number 12.
The Doctor and Twilight leap into the future, though it may be a far darker place than they envision. In the mean time somehow the Doctor keeps crashing around Ponyville, something to do with Fluttershy, but what?

Captain Diedrick Thompson was a Solar Fleet captain -- the youngest in recorded history. Upon getting caught in a strange magnetic storm while doing a routine patrol within his race's cosmic backyard, he finds himself forcibly relocated in space, with no idea where he is or even when he is. As isolation sets in, he finds that he will need help to figure out just what happened, and if he can find his way back home. Unfortunately, the peace-loving princesses of Equestria won't take kindly to such an imposing person making planetfall.

This story is rated T for teen.

Contains incidences of consumption of alcohol, violence and minor gore, adult language, crude humor and implied sex.

Note: This story ignores everything after the end of Season 3, including Equestria Girls; this means that Twilight never went to the alternate dimension, but is still an alicorn. All ponies and other beings present are anthropomorphic, meaning they are humanoid in shape but still have hooves, wings, fur, etc. Pony technology is comparable to our modern human technology, with a few differences.

As the elements were unleashed, the Nightmare knew it was over. But it would not let it's fun end. No, it would not be left behind. It would find another world to bring to ruin. As for the poor sap that was left in It's place? He was going to get blasted, what did it matter what he ended up getting from It?

Edit: I swear, half of you are uncultured heathens. The thing in the image with the Nightmare's hair is a substitute doll
